BRIDGEPORT -- Let the Lowell Devils have 10 power plays; give the puck away to them a few dozen times more. Nothing was getting by Scott Munroe on Friday night, no matter what part of his body got in the way.

Munroe made 39 saves and kept rebound chances out of trouble for the 11th shutout of his career and a 3-0 Bridgeport Sound Tigers win at the Arena at Harbor Yard, the Sound Tigers' first shutout since Feb. 18.

"The fewer rebounds get out, the less you've got to work," Munroe said, "and the easier it is on the rest of the team."

Munroe made 14 saves in the second period as the Sound Tigers faced four Devils power plays. He stopped another 18 shots in the third as the Sound Tigers got sloppy at times.

As a rebound game for Bridgeport from Wednesday's sometimes-lackluster 3-1 loss to Manchester, it worked, though coach Jack Capuano remembered the end more than the beginning.

"In the third period, the game got away a little bit," Capuano said. "We had way too many turnovers."

Munroe made sure the Devils never had a chance in front of 4,217 fans.

Not quite five minutes into the third, Lowell's Ben Walter came down the left side and fed a shot to Patrick Davis, whose shot was ticketed for the top-right corner if not for Munroe.

"It hit me in the face, I think," Munroe said. "I'll take it. Walter made a pretty good pass. I was expecting pass. If he had shot, I might have been in trouble."

The Sound Tigers killed five Devils power plays, too, led by Munroe's stops. The Devils were 4-for-18 in the teams' first three meetings on the power play, including 2-for-6 when they played here earlier this month.

"You've got to pay the price," Capuano said. "We talked. We haven't liked how the (penalty kill) has been going. You've got to play desperate, get your pads in front of pucks."

Bridgeport worked hard and even generated some short-handed scoring chances in the second period.

"They gave us some problems earlier in the season, but (Friday), we did a good job battling in front," Munroe said. "They had some good opportunities, but they're going to go your way sometimes."

Sixsmith drew praise for his play in his first three games up from Utah (ECHL), but Wednesday night, he lamented that he hadn't scored. He needed only one shift Friday to change that, potting the rebound of a Tyler Haskins shot.

"If you find yourself in the right spots, eventually one's going to come out to you," Sixsmith said. "Hasky made a great play to throw it on net."

Their line worked hard yet again, and the third member, Micheal Haley, drew a five-minute power play late in the first under a little-seen rule.

Referee Geno Binda assessed Pierre-Luc Leblond a match penalty for slew footing when he kicked out Haley's legs as they set up for a faceoff. Bridgeport's best chances on that power play, though, went wide.

Away from his regular linemates after a penalty kill, Sixsmith nearly scored again midway through the second on Robin Figren's nice setup. Jeff Frazee made the save, but Martin scored on the rebound.

Bentivoglio finished it with 3:33 remaining, banking a shot off Frazee from behind the goal line.
